tanhai

hum se koi dil lagata 

toe hum bhi dil laga lete

dil ki us andhere main ek shamma bhi jala lete

kuch sunte aur kuch apna bhi suna lete


par ab ye aalam hai

ki koi bi nahi hai un keher barsi galiyo main

aur ab kis ke liye ye bahar ho bhi

kisi ko hona bhi toe chahiye ye jatane ke liye


hum ne dil ko bohot samjhaya

par wo samajhne koi razi na tha 

fir dil ne bhi hame samjhaya

akhir wo kambakht jeet hi gaya


lekin fir hum kabi sochte hai tanhai main

ke agar hum kahe bhi kisi ko toe kya kahe

jaise kahne ko zehen main ek qeht si hai

aaise soche toe kisi ki galti hi nahi hai


zor zor se tanhai ke aandhi toofa chale hain

hum ne saare ke saare kafir raaste naape hain

such toe ye bhi hai ki hum tanha bhi nahi

hum hai, dil hai, aur hamari tanhai hai
